| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 09/23/06 at 02:15 PM Love it! Every word. The Oooo Heee Oooo is perfect. I can hear it!! |
| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 09/23/06 at 03:51 PM funny, I was just thinking yesterday of the drones and whizzes of buses now, as I'm using them even more. What a coincidence. Excellent transit poem. What a shame that as I was also thinking that even in transitways or on buses, we're at risk of violence, and then the horrible murder on the 118 happened! I shouldn't think about these things. Great poem, love the refrain. |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 09/24/06 at 12:19 AM Sound and imagery go together to make a fascinating read. Since I am out in the country (more or less), those sounds are not common place to me. But you've described another integral part of city life. |

Another greta write. Yeah, when I'm downtown, you can hear all kinds of sounds.
It has it's own beauty with it's self. :) |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 09/25/06 at 12:50 AM Actually reminds me of one of the songs from the Wizard of OZ - but, in modern day travel! Nice perception and sound-byte of modern life. |
| Posted by Dave Fitzgerald on 09/27/06 at 02:39 PM Excellent, loved the last stanza |
| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 09/29/06 at 05:05 PM Like the sound and visual combination of this verse and I will never look at buses the same again. Ride on into the poetic sunset and keep creating as you go. smh :) |
